Following the elections in India - the largest democratic exercise in the history of humankind - the political, social and economic outlook for the country will be debated by leading political scientists and commentators at SOAS, University of London next month.

Taking place on Tuesday 10 June at 21-22 Russell Square, the event ‘The Indian General Elections and After’ will review how the campaign was conducted, the key issues that dominated the campaign, and examine in detail the electoral performance of the national and regional parties in shaping the 16th Lok Sabha.
